Pros

Not really applicable; maybe decent benefits

Cons

This position is not for college graduates; it is for someone looking for janitorial work. * Upper management (C-level executives) mandates changes in work schedules for employees without previously discussing them. * Pay is poor and does not meet the market average. * Management (C-level executives) spends more time trying to take negative Glassdoor postings down than they do on employee retention. * The work environment is not safe and does not meet OSHA or EPA standards, as the room used for dispensing harmful and volatile solvents does not have proper ventilation. * Most of the work in this position is janitorial work, so you will be mopping the floors, cleaning glassware, and taking out the trash daily. * Concerns brought to management (C-level executives) are ignored and shoved under the rug. * The position does not offer a good work-life balance. * No opportunity for upward movement in the company unless you brown-nose management (C-level executives) because their only concern is minimizing their costs. * Raises and bonuses are given on a bell curve, so in order for someone to get a larger raise, another person needs to receive a lower raise. * Biweekly meetings with direct supervisors (C-level executives) never happen, as supervisors are more concerned with their own personal agenda than managing their supervisees. * Management (C-level executives) uses a lot of smoke and mirrors and never gives employees straight answers regarding changes in the company.

Pros

Some managers were exceptional mentors and played a significant role in my professional growth. Good benefits and a reasonable severance package during workforce reductions. Opportunities to work on large-scale marketing initiatives and collaborate with experience professionals across the organization and globe.

Cons

Advancement opportunities often felt inconsistent and lacked any transparency. Leadership frequently emphasized data-driven decision making, but business decisions did not always appear to align with the metrics being presented. The company appeared hesitant to embrace emerging technologies and AI-driven approaches, limiting innovation in multiple areas. Job security is uncertain, and organizational changes occur frequently with little warning. Management quality varied significantly, While some leaders were outstanding, others struggled with communication, strategic direction, and people management. Career growth seemed to depend heavily on organizational politics and alignment with leadership rather than solely on measurable performance.
